Why are the controls completely broken

[Queen HawlSera]

I can't turn.... What the hell?

[DetWolf]

First of all check out, if your num pud is on. Then push num 8 to go forward, num 2 to go back, num 4 to turn left, num 6 to turn right
P.S. you can change controls in options, but arrows don't work. Read guides how to use'em

So maybe the problem is in the speed of the game in general?
Try to run it in 95 mode (you need to install 95RPP first - during install you can also reset key settings).

various keys dont work, so this game is borked. I cant use wsad the most common of movement and the number pads are spotty and laggy at best. this came with the bundle so off to the next game #fail.

this is because dosbox uses some of them. just remap your keys, and if you hear a sound reminicent of your standard fart noise, you know you can't bind it to that. i'm guessing you've tried binding the controls to the typical "wasd" but S won't bind?

@Glirotus
This is a different problem, but it's not broken - just some keys are set to functions which are not available to bind from game, to remap keys for all available functions use CKB and to speed up use 95RPP mentioned above and run 95 mode. CKB also work with C2.

When binding keys in CKB remember that this tool allow to set one key for many functions. So you need to look if the key you set is not used elsewhere - there is a column with counter. Also in both CKB and 95RPP is custom - ready to use - wsad config included.

@Logic
There is solution based on DOSBox, but worst - DOSBox remap feature which work only in DOSBox and mess up keys for entering player name and for cheats codes.
CKB changing keys to use in game directly so for all modes (DOSBox and 95) and not mess the keys. The 'S' and other occupied keys can be remapped with CKB. The 'S' key have no special meaning in DOSBox. The 'S' key is just mapped to 'Sound off/on' function in game by default and that's why it can't be set from game.

Edit: text reorganization, more details.

Controling the cars in this game is pretty much impossible. You are destined to crash because your car cant turn. At least thats how the game feels for me. I can use the numpad its just that turning sucks. Heck, Midtown Madness controls feel godlike compared to Carmageddons.

Same, the game seems fun but OH GOD THE TURNING

The controls aren't broken, I laugh at the newbs who start Maim Street and after the first turn they do they start swerving all out of control overcompensating in both directions before wiping out... learn to drive kid.
